Any fact is better established by two or three good testimonies than by a thousand arguments -- Emmons

Facts are to the mind, what food is to the body -- On the due digestion of the former depend the strength and wisdom of the one, just as vigor and health depend on the other -- The wisest in council, the ablest in debate, and the most agreeable companion in the commerce of human life, is that man who has assimilated to his understanding the greatest number of facts -- Burke

Every day of my life makes me feel more and more how seldom a fact is accurately stated; how almost invariably when a story has passed through the mind of the third person it becomes, so far as regards the impression it makes in further repetitions, little better than a falsehood; and this, too, though the narrator be the most truth-seeking person in existence -- Hawthorne

There should always be some foundation of fact for the most airy fabric; pure invention is but the talent of a deceiver -- Byron

_Opinions are stronger than armies -- If they are founded in truth and justice, they will, in the end, prevail against the bayonets of infantry, the fire of artillery, and the charges of cavalry -- Lord Palmerston

He than never changes his opinions, never corrects his mistakes, and will never be wiser on the morrow than he is today -- Tryon Edwards

Change of opinion is often only the progress of sound thought and growing knowledge; and though sometimes regarded as an inconsistency, it is but the noble inconsistency natural to a mind ever ready for growth and expansion of thought, and that never fears to follow where truth and duty may lead the way -- Tryon Edwarads

We should always keep a corner of our heads open and free, that we may make room for the opinions of our friends. Let us have heart and head hospitality -- Joubert ...Read More Link on Right

_(Comments may be made on this subject and will be posted upon approval - Thank you)These quotes are very thought provoking - I hand picked each one of them from a book of hundreds on riches and wealth - I hope you will take time to read them and allow their meaning to really soak in - The wisdom in these words may be priceless in the days to come - KS at Dinar Recaps

There is a burden of care in getting riches; fear in keeping them; temptation in using them; guilt is abusing them; sorrow in losing them; and a burden of account at last to be given concerning them. --M Henry

The acquisition of wealth is a work of great labor; its possession a source of continual fear; it loss, of excessive grief. -- From the Latin Agur said, "Give me neither poverty nor riches"; and this will ever be the prayer of the wise. Our incomes should be like our shoes: if too small, they will gall and pinch us, but if too large, they will cause us to stumble and to trip. But wealth, after all, is a relative thing, since he that has little, and wants less, is richer than he that has much, but wants more. True contentment depends not upon what we have; a tub was large enough for Diogenes, but a world was too little for Alexander. -- Colton

Our wealth is often a snare to ourselves, and always a temptation to others. -- Colton Men pursue riches under the idea that their possession will set them at ease and above the world. But the law of association often makes those who begin by loving gold as a servant, finish by becoming its slaves; and independence without wealth is at least as common as wealth without independence. -- Colton...Read More Link on Right

You must give some time to your fellow men. Even if it's a little thing, do something for others -The great art of giving consists in this: the gift should cost very little and yet be greatly coveted, so that it may be the more highly appreciated. Baltasar GracianGratitude is born in hearts that take time to count up past mercies. Charles E. Jefferson (1860 - 1937)

Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others. Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC), 'Pro Plancio,' 54 B.CThe excellence of a gift lies in its appropriateness rather than in its value. Charles Dudley Warner (1829 - 1900), 'Eleventh Study,' Backlog Studies, 1873Gratitude is merely the secret hope of further favors. Francois de La Rochefoucauld (1613 - 1680)A compliment is a gift, not to be thrown away carelessly, unless you want to hurt the giver. Eleanor HamiltonGratitude is the most exquisite form of courtesy. Jacques Maritain (1882 - 1973), Reflections on America, 1958...Read More Link on Right
